Product Information

• Name: Chelerythrine
• Synonyms: ToddalineBroussonpapyrine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chelerythrine is a natural benzophenanthridine alkaloid, which is isolated from plants in the Papaveraceae family. This compound is primarily known for its role as a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), an enzyme critical in various cellular signaling pathways. Chelerythrine exhibits its mode of action by competitively binding to the ATP-binding site of PKC, thereby inhibiting its activity. This inhibition disrupts downstream signaling processes involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
